"Strive to write a youth chapter for Chinese-style modernisation". On the occasion of the arrival of the May 4th Youth Day, General Secretary Xi Jinping extended holiday congratulations and sincere greetings to the majority of young people across the country, demanding that young people inherit and carry forward the spirit of the May 4th, unswervingly listen to the Party, follow the Party, and strive to have ideals, dare to take responsibility, be able to endure hardships, and be willing to work hard. The good young people in the new era show their youth, show their youth demeanour and contribute their strength in promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation. The General Secretary's message is full of expectations and urges people to forge ahead, injecting strong impetus into the growth of young people and talents, and pointing out the right direction for doing a good job in youth work.

If the youth is prosperous, the country will be prosperous, and if the youth is strong, the country will be strong. A history of national rejuvenation is also a history of youth struggle. From the feat of "youth should be responsible for replacing the old for the new" in the revolutionary era, to the hard work of "dedicating youth to the motherland" in the period of socialist revolution and construction; from the hard work of "uniting and revitalising China" at the beginning of reform and opening up, to the vow of "please rest assured of the party and strengthen the country" in the new era... For more than a hundred years, generation after generation of youth He firmly believed and closely followed the Party. He contributed to the struggle for national independence, the liberation of the people, the realisation of the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, and composed the exciting youth movement in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History and reality tell us that the young generation has ideals, skills and responsibilities, the country has a future, and the nation has hope.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has attached great importance to youth, enthusiastically cared for young people, fully trusted them, promoted China's youth development to achieve all-round progress and made historic achievements, creating a good environment for young people to grow up and create a wide stage. A few days ago, the 28th "May 4th Medal for Chinese Youth" was announced, and a group of young people and collectives who have made outstanding contributions to scientific and technological innovation, rural revitalisation, green development, social services, and guarding the country and the border have been commended. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 105th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement. In the grand journey of promoting Chinese-style modernisation, in the hot practice of developing new quality productive forces and promoting high-quality development, the majority of young people are born at the right time, with heavy responsibilities on their shoulders, the world of exerting their talents is extremely broad, and the prospect of realising their dreams is extremely bright.

Patriotism is the deepest and most enduring emotion in the world. For Chinese youth in the new era, loving the motherland is the foundation of the body and the foundation of success. In contemporary China, the essence of patriotism is to adhere to the high degree of unity of patriotism, love for the Party and love for socialism. Only when young people have a solid foundation and inexhaustible strength can they be determined to listen to the Party's words, follow the Party, worry about the country and the people, and love the country and the people. Patriotism should not stop at the slogan, but closely link its ideals with the future of the motherland, the fate of the nation, take root in the people, contribute to the country, and grow into a pillar worthy of national rejuvenation in solid struggle.

"Talents should be cultivated since ancient times, and let them fight in the air." In today's era, the update of knowledge is constantly accelerating, the social division of labour is becoming more and more refined, and new technologies, new models and new business forms are emerging one after another. This not only brings new opportunities for youth development, but also puts forward new and higher requirements for young people's ability and quality. By learning and understanding Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and being good at analysing and solving problems with the position and method throughout it, young people have a powerful ideological weapon to understand the world, grasp the law, pursue the truth, and transform the world. Strive to master scientific knowledge, improve internal quality, temper excellent skills, and actively participate in practice, the majority of young people can serve the people with real talents and contribute to the country with innovation and creation.

The wings of youth are strong because of sharpening; the road of life is broad because of struggle. At this moment, the Shenzhou 18 manned flight crew composed of all the "post-80s" are exploring the vast universe. Young athletes are fighting hard to prepare for the Paris Olympics, and tens of millions of young people are fighting on all fronts, based on their own positions to make contributions. It is the right time for young people to forge ahead with great ambition. On the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the majority of young people are more closely united around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, firm in their ideals and beliefs, and have the "great man of the country" in mind. If they work hard and forge ahead, they will bloom a more dazzling light of youth and write a more wonderful chapter of the times.
